THE NEW YORKER he wants to do. But for the most part real wit and poetic feeling are behind his work, and, combined with his ex- traordinarv technique, they result in some extremely striking paintings. Cer- tainly, Magritte is a man who de- serves to be far better known over here than he is. T HIS has been a season for Picasso shows, and in the six weeks or so before summer brings an end to it there will quite possibly be one or two others. Durand-Ruel's entry is the fourth, I be- lieve, in the series, and it's a tribute to the artist's unfailing invention that it is a fresh and interesting exhibit. There are fifteen pictures, al1 just acquired from the collection of the G.alerie Louis Carré, in Paris, all done in the war years, and allllèw to this country. They arè rather more "difficult" than most of the Picassos we've had lately, and at first sigh t the harsh colors and tense angular- ity of some of them. may seem a bit star- tling. But Picasso can handle easily such dramatics as these, and although there are no major paintings in the show (one feels, indeed, in a couple of them- " F G . " d " I ,. em me en ns an nterleur, Femme'Assise et Nu Debout"-that he has been lax in exploiting his themes), they are all worth seeing. I noted par- ticularly the richly painted "Pot de To- " 1 F ^ " " B d F mates a a enetre, uste e emme au Corsage Rayé," and the dark, dense- ly patterned "Nature Morte au Com- potier de Cerises." A T the Downtown Gallery, Jack Le- vine is showing a set of new '-' pain tings in his first big exhibition in nine years. For a time, his work indi- cated that he as thrown badly out of gear by the war; he lost confidence, it seemed, and the paintings that I saw in group shows had an odd, fumbling hes- itancy. Now, however, his confidence and direction appear to have come back, and since his work has gained in compo- sitional assurance and sonority, too, the new show is a very eft' ective one. I liked especially his "Apteka," a slum street scene done more or less in his prewar vein but with even greater depth and dexterIty; the small, lightly satirical "Battle's End" and "Mars Confound- ed;" and the large, carefully designed "Royal Family." -ROBERT M.

No matter how hit, it would go straight for the flag. However, what it does and where it goes depends upon your skill, the construction of the ball and the clubs you use. Any Hagen ball wiU do its part if you do yours. And there is no better way to be sure you can really do your part than by working with your golf professional. Golf is his business-his art-his profession. He can help you make a golf ball behave. Why not sign up with him and begin to really master the art of shot-making? It's a good idea, believe me.
